Dmitry and Muffins have been great partners. They have a deep bench of talent and have been able to quickly source a variety of skillsets to meet our ever-changing needs. The team (and they do work as a team) has impressive engineering expertise and has gone above and beyond in learning regulatory industry frameworks such as HIPAA. I would highly recommend Muffins to anyone considering their services.

Muffins has been a valued partner as we have grown our business over the years. From needing one developer to a entire team of developers, we've now worked with Muffins for over X years and they've supported us the entire way. They are highly intelligent, and they take a holistic approach to helping you with your development needs rather than just placing people on your team to benefit their own business. Highly recommended.

We joined a small and talented team of BookFresh back in 2013 to help them migrate their tech stack to Ruby on Rails before they got acquired by Square. Later on, after the successful acquisition, we were humbled and happy to continue working with Square on the freshly designed style guide.

I’ve worked with Dmitry and Muffins on two different established and widely used Ruby on Rails sites and would highly recommend their professionalism and dedication. They are easy to work with and learned our processes and codebases quickly. The engineers offer a wealth of knowledge and experience gained from their work with different clients, yet they remain flexible when the toolset or architecture differs. Dmitry also provides valuable input and insights on both technical and business matters. I would certainly engage them again on future projects.

GoPro (General Things) has hired our entire team in 2013 to help them scale up and improve their codebase. The project code was good but the media files architecture needed to be cleaner. We DRYed it, implemented STI for media and removed a lot of repeated logic. Only a small part of the logic was covered by tests so we added additional tests to cover the rest. We used Bootstrap to change the view of the admin area and got rid of the extra CSS complexity.

The path of a Muffin

  1. There's a Muffin in you already

    To learn the kind of a Muffin you are, we'll do a bit of a screening. We'll review your CV and GitHub and have an intro call to learn more about your personality.

  2. Let’s learn what flavor you are

    Now, it’s time for some interviews. It usually takes a couple of calls and a technical interview before we grasp what kind of Muffin you are and the best way to make you flourish.

  3. Time to bake into Muffins

    At this point, you receive a job offer and start walking through our state-of-the-art onboarding process supervised by a mentor.

  4. Your impact starts here

    Once you're done onboarding, you start to attend meetings with our partner's tech team and take ownership of well-structured tasks.

  5. Hello Muffin!

    We're ever-evolving. Each Muffin gets their personal mentor. Once your seniority grows over Middle+, you also get an individual development plan.
